Manchester United are reportedly offering Zlatan Ibrahimovic Â£220,000 a week to join them – a fraction of what he could earn in China.

Reports in Italy claim United are AC Milan’s main European rivals for the Swedish star’s signature this summer with Jose Mourinho, the manager rumoured to be taking over at Old Trafford, having told Ibrahimovic what’s on offer.

The Paris Saint-Germain striker is keeping everyone guessing as to his next destination when he leaves France on a free transfer at the end of the season, but United are expected to be in the mix.

However, the figures reported to be on the table are still dwarfed by the rumoured sums on offer from Chinese football for Ibrahimovic to end his career in the Far East.

It is claimed that the 35-year-old could earn Â£57million a season in the Chinese Super League – over five times the reported amount of his potential earnings at Old Trafford.
